First of all, the New Year's table should have a festive and solemn look, which can be given with the help of beautiful vegetable and fruit slices.
Vegetable mix
To decorate the New Year's table with original vegetable slices, you need to cut celery, carrots, red and yellow bell peppers into thick strips, as well as cook cherry tomatoes and olives. Fresh cucumber is completely peeled from the skin, cutting it into thin strips, then the vegetable is cut diagonally into thin slices. The dish is lined with green lettuce leaves, laid out with sectors of olives and vegetable straws, a bowl of sauce is placed in the center of the dish and decorated with curly fresh parsley in a circle. To create slicing, you can use either a special carving knife or a regular sharp knife with a narrow blade.
Vegetable slices in the form of flowers that are cut from radishes, cucumbers or tomatoes will look great on the New Year's table. To do this, you need to cut thin long strips from them and carefully roll them into flowers, decorating them with olives, cut into rings. You can also cut a large flower from a tomato, place it in the center of the dish on a salad pillow and lay thin cucumber strips folded like an accordion overlapping the flower. A skewer or a sprig of greens is stuck into each accordion - in addition, the cutting can be supplemented with plum tomato tulips cut from the top in a zigzag.
Fruit slices
Beautiful canapes made from banana circles and canned pineapple rings, chopped with a colored skewer, are perfect for the New Year's table. To make colorful fruits, you need to cut oranges, pears, apples and other fruits of about the same size into medium circles and swap them.
An ideal New Year's example of fruit slicing will be a hedgehog, to create which you need to cut pineapple and apple into medium cubes, take tangerine wedges, grapes and strawberries, put the fruit on toothpicks and stick it in half of the pineapple. As a hedgehog's head, you can use a green pear or kiwi, to which eyes from any berries are attached with the help of melted sugar.
You can also cut leaves from hard fruits, simply cutting out oblong pieces from them and making cuts on each so that you get a kind of thin boats that are filled with various berries. To remind the summer in the middle of the New Year's holidays, slicing a palm tree made from bananas and green kiwi slices will help, and as sand you can use tangerine slices sprinkled with lemon zest.
